He's right. GVWR went WAY up (11,00 pounds) but its fitted with the 6.0 and GM 6-speeds, it has a low GCWR.
That still sounds way low. IIRC the 6.0 with the 6L80E and 4.10 axle is rated for 18,500 GCWR.
The 6.0 with the 6L80E is rated for 16,000 pounds with 3.73 gears although newer ones with 4.10 gears is good for 20,500.
Everything I've seen listed a very low tow rating, although I do see a the GT5 option code which is 4.10 gears (G80 locker is available too). They haven't published a GCWR yet that I can find.
Also it's only available for fleet ordering, and I believe there's a minimum order size on the dealer's end.
One of the other interesting options is the ship-through code to Kerr Industries, which is a law enforcement upfitter, which makes me thinks this is the intended purpose of the 2500.
